Fuel testing

Be assured of your marine fuel quality

Advisory services

Avoid engine damage by using LR’s fuel quality and quantity technical support for both marine fuels and additional services such as lube oil and engine health management.

We understand the challenges you face as a shipowner or operator when purchasing marine fuels. Globally, it’s difficult to be certain of quality, and it’s not always easy to check that it’s being delivered in the correct quantity either. In addition to providing independent assurance about the quality of fuel, we can verify that you receive the quantity you expect.
